Hilbert series, the Higgs mechanism, and HEFT

Brian Quinn Henning

We expand Hilbert series technologies in effective field theory for the inclusion of massive particles, enabling, among other things, the enumeration of operator bases for non-linearly realized gauge theories. We find that the Higgs mechanism is manifest a ...

A new method for lattice reduction using directional and hyperplanar shearing

Cyril Cayron

A geometric method of lattice reduction based on cycles of directional and hyperplanar shears is presented. The deviation from cubicity at each step of the reduction is evaluated by a parameter called 'basis rhombicity' which is the sum of the absolute val ...

A proof of the instability of AdS for the Einstein-massless Vlasov system

Georgios Moschidis

In recent years, the conjecture on the instability of Anti-de Sitter spacetime, put forward by Dafermos-Holzegel (Dynamic instability of solitons in 4 + 1 dimesnional gravity with negative cosmological constant, 2006. https://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/similar to ...

Dark Energy Survey year 1 results: Constraints on extended cosmological models from galaxy clustering and weak lensing

Yi Zhang, Eduardo Sanchez, Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We present constraints on extensions of the minimal cosmological models dominated by dark matter and dark energy, Lambda CDM and wCDM, by using a combined analysis of galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing from the first-year data of the Dark Ene ...

Scale-invariant alternatives to general relativity. II. Dilaton properties

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Georgios Karananas

In the present paper, we revisit gravitational theories which are invariant under TDiffs-transverse (volume-preserving) diffeomorphisms and global scale transformations. It is known that these theories can be rewritten in an equivalent diffeomorphism-invar ...

Minkowski space is locally the Noldus limit of Poisson process causets

Jan Cristina

A Poisson process P-lambda on R-d with causal structure inherited from the the usual Minkowski metric on R-d has a normalised discrete causal distance D-lambda (x, y) given by the height of the longest causal chain normalised by lambda(1/d)c(d). We prove t ...

Kerr coefficients of plasma resonances in Josephson junction chains

Olexiy Feofanov

We present an experimental and theoretical analysis of the self-and cross-Kerr effect of extended plasma resonances in Josephson junction chains. We calculate the Kerr coefficients by deriving and diagonalizing the Hamiltonian of a linear circuit model for ...

The particle spectrum of parity-violating Poincare gravitational theory

Georgios Karananas

In this paper we investigate the physical spectrum of the gravitational theory based on the Poincare group with terms that are at most quadratic in tetrad and spin connection, allowing for the presence of parity-even as well as parity-odd invariants. We de ...

Semiclassical S-matrix for black holes

Sergey Sibiryakov

We propose a semiclassical method to calculate S-matrix elements for two-stage gravitational transitions involving matter collapse into a black hole and evaporation of the latter. The method consistently incorporates back-reaction of the collapsing and emi ...

Blow Up Construction and Stability of Stationary Maps

Sohrab Mirshams Shahshahani

This thesis is a study of wave maps from a curved background to the standard two dimensional sphere S2. The target is always assumed to be embedded in R3 in the standard way. The do- main manifold (the "curved background") will be diffeomorphic to S2 × R, ...

Three-Dimensional Mapping of Transparent Objects Using Kerr Nonlinearity Measurement

Demetri Psaltis, Alexandre Goy

We report a technique to produce three-dimensional maps of transparent objects using the Kerr coefficient as a contrast agent. The method is based on the spatial modifications of a probe pattern focused into the medium. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America ...

Finsler Conformal Lichnerowicz-Obata conjecture

Marc Troyanov

We prove the Finsler analog of the conformal Lichnerowicz-Obata conjecture showing that a complete and essential conformal vector field on a non-Riemannian Finsler manifold is a homothetic vector field of a Minkowski metric. ...
